Past clients have included Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, philanthropists, an Emmy award-winning producer, and social media voices -- but the through-line isn't who they are. It's what they wanted: to still look like themselves, fully present.

"Olivia inherently understood all of my concerns and worries.
She executed a look which I felt so confident and beautiful in. My makeup was flawless and lasted all day, even through (many, many, many) tears of joy and plenty of dancing! Not a single streak in sight—Olivia truly has a gift for creating long-lasting looks that feel as good as they look. She expertly styled my hair to stay in place while still looking effortless. My hair does not hold curl that well and I was shocked that it stayed intact all night."
